  • The wild successes of Helldivers 2 and Baldur's Gate 3 send a clear message: Let devs cook

    Jump

  • We killed 2 billion of them a week ago, but they just keep coming.

  • The Soviets were completely cool with it to. The Iran-Iraq war was one of the few where the Soviets and U.S were in agreement. Plus both had decent relations by this point.

  • I'm not trying to make a value judgement as to whether this is good/bad/etc, but it is kind of amazing Iran is still able to throw any weight around on the world stage.

    They're not friendly with the US or most of it's Allies obviously, but they've also made enemies of Saudi Arabia (and by extension Saudi Arabia's allies). They have almost no powerful friends, at this moment in time, Russia might throw them a bit of help, but it looks like their only ally of consequence is India.

  • “Every person who isn’t a murderer is just a murder away from becoming a murderer. Timebomb!”

    Never thought about it that way, welp, might as well get it over with.

  • 60 Percent Of Playtime In 2023 Went To 6-Year-Old Or Older Games, New Data Shows

    Jump

  • The switch is interesting because it probably has the most unique catalog. There are a lot of games you can only get on the switch and there are also a lot of games that are popular elsewhere but just don't fit right with the switch ecosystem.

  • Since no upvotes are possible, the 'Hot' and 'New' pages of Kbin should show the same content. That's kinda awesome

    Jump

  • Maybe technically and in general sometimes, but not for most at the moment.

  • RimWorld - Anomaly (DLC) Store page is up

    Jump

  • It's a shame, I was really pulling for 'RIBWORLD'

  • As more developers confirm, it looks likely that ALL Adult Swim Games titles will be removed by May

    Jump

  • They're making money in the short term by cutting costs. Maximizing perceived profitability likely in preparation for a sell off. You see it all the time, but it's rare to see it happen to something where the consequences of that are so public.

  • Fantasies

    Jump

  • This is not medical advice, but assume your sleep is fucked for a reason, if you actually feel like you're sleeping during that time, the most common reason by far is sleep apnea. If you have sleep apnea, the best solution is likely going to be losing weight and exercising or buying an expensive machine to sleep with (probably both to start with).

    However, getting to the point... the cheap but not nearly as good solution is to sleep on your side and use breathe right strips. You may not sleep well, but you'll sleep slightly better.

  • Israel ‘accepts six-week ceasefire deal’ as Hamas response awaited, US officials say

    Jump

  • It's a nice thought and I'd hope the majority of the Palestinian people might... settle for that, but Hamas itself is founded on principles that are fairly extreme. Their charter is real rough, a paragraph early on about murdering all Jews everywhere is just the start.

    Hamas has defined their government based on perpetual war and other problematic conditions. It's difficult to envision a lasting peace while they're still around.

  • Israel ‘accepts six-week ceasefire deal’ as Hamas response awaited, US officials say

    Jump

  • The official said the reason was that Hamas had not responded to two Israeli demands: a list of hostages specifying which are alive and which are dead; and confirmation of the ratio of Palestinian prisoners to be released from Israeli prisons in exchange for hostages.

    This is in theory what we're waiting on. That sounds reasonable at first glance, but we do have to remember that we are only hearing from one side.

  • Federation Delays

    Jump

  • We haven't heard from our developer/lead maintainer/near entirety of the staff for about a month, so it's kind of hard to say. If they are working on something in the backend, it doesn't feel like they care enough to inform the community about it.

  • Is rpi still the single board go-to?

    Jump

  • A refurbished tiny/mini/micro PC will use more power in terms of sheer numbers, but the cost is still so small on them that it's really not worth considering for most.

  • George L Scrub

    Jump

  • Hey hey, no reason to bring up the past.

    I think we agree, the past is over.

  • How are you people faking location to get a better price for subscriptions?

    Jump

  • I mean, you're in the right place then my friend, because you're not going to subscribe to much of anything that has an international presence.

    It kinda sucks when you're in one of the 'high price' countries, but there's lot of countries who wouldn't have it at all if they had to pay our prices.

  • Major western news outlets manufacture consent for Genocide

    Jump

  • Oh look everybody we got a repeat from this one of giving up and going home once it's pointed out that they've offered nothing!

    Still not seeing any comments on the sources. How you feel about the hamas charter? Was women's suffrage where it all went wrong? Openly admitting to suicide bombings and other acts of terror and being proud of being a terrorist organization? Is that what the good guys do?

    This isn't me, this is coming direct from your 'good guys'.

  • Major western news outlets manufacture consent for Genocide

    Jump

  • Yeah the Allies fought against Hitler with violence because they wanted to kill all Germans and never achieve peace.And the ANC too they didn’t want peace they just wanted genocide!

    There's the segue that no one cares about that I mentioned in my last reply.

    Childish arguments.

    And, there's the 'I give up and go home' statement I predicted in the last reply too. It was expected after any sources are presented.

  • Major western news outlets manufacture consent for Genocide

    Jump

  • They have been open to peace and tried to negotiate peacefully far before October 7.

    You're saying they want peace then describing them as a violent resistance. Those don't match up.

    “khamas evil evil evil”

    They're unapologetically and unashamedly a terrorist organization and describe themselves as such. You're the only one confused. They publicly claim responsibility for acts of terror like the below:

    Hamas Suicide Bombings: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Palestinian_suicide_attacks#:~:text=A%202007%20study%20of%20Palestinian,PFLP)%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other%20and%202.7%25%20by%20other)

    Hamas’s government is built upon israel never accepting any peaceful deal

    Partially correct, but misleading, the charter that Hamas was founded on:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988_Hamas_charter

    Hamas' government was built on a requirement for violent jihad and fantasizing about the death of all jews (it's specifically in the charter). The government charter specifically speaks against negotiating for peace. Notable extra callouts railing against equal rights for women, codifying them as exclusively 'homemakers' and 'child rearers'. A whole special section just to state that womens suffrage was something the west made up just to make them specifically look bad.

    Your next comment should be something along the lines of "I give up on this, you're obviously not listening to this stuff I made up". Make sure to include a segue with an analogy comparing it to something else though.

  • None of the single violent resistances...

    It's hard line to tow, but if you are going to say they're open to peace, you got to stick to it.

    If you believe all those people that were willing to risk their lives to stand up against oppression in the past were super nice and educated about the whole situation you’re in for a big treat.The IRA and the ANC are not the nice guys you think they were which only targeted military and politicians. And don’t google what the Haitians did during their rebellion against slavery.

    No one is interested in bringing any of this into the conversation.

    Hamas is very much on the lower end of civilian casualty rates for a resistance group.

    This is where I have a problem, you're framing 'lower end of civilian casualty' as a good statistic to look at and a sign that one side is somehow 'noble'. People are trying really hard to frame it as a battle of good vs evil, where in reality it's just a battle of evil vs evil, but one side is dramatically less effective and has less resources. The wikipedia article on suicide bombings Hamas has claimed credit for isn't small and that's just covering one type of terrorism.

    It's horrible for the Palestinian civilians, but Hamas has built their entire government on the idea of perpetual war and specifically not negotiating a solution. I hope I'm wrong, but I personally don't see a peaceful solution here where both sides are still around.
